My Review of the Vertplanter 2.0

I do have an affiliate link here if you’d like to purchase your Vertplanter 2.0 through me – no uncharge to you, but I get a cut, so thanks!
I like how it was shipped – it was packaged extremely well and even though the box got a bit beaten up on the way to me, my Vertplanter was in perfect condition!
Communication with the company has been great!
After setting up, I was concerned that the terra cotta might seep out onto the drainage tray, but that never happened at all! No leaks!
Only use filtered, purified, or reverse osmosis (RO) water with your Vertplanter.
Not sure what to plant? – let’s go with chia! I used a ratio of about two tablespoons of food grade chia seeds (yep the same ones I use in my snacks) to about a quarter cup of water; this made a paste that I then applied by hand to the sides. The unique texturing was great for this!
This piece is really pleasing to look at, but I wasn’t thrilled with the practicality. You have to keep the Vertplanter full of water so I was having to top off every day or two; additionally it’s recommended that you also hand-spray the outside of the planter daily. So in the end, it looks really cool but I felt I had to babysit it too much (especially in Texas summers, when we’d be traveling).
As of right now, the Vertplanter only comes with the pot and tray, no straps or other attachments as mentioned in the instructions. They do make a version which comes with a lid for the top of the main cylinder, which is a good idea as it will help curb evaporation out of the top!
If you need the manual which came with this product, I have it for you here. You can see dimensions and other product suggestions.
